Tumours are not discreet. As cancer cells grow and change, they release microscopic particles into their environment. Some of these particles enter the bloodstream. They are small, abundant, and, as researchers are beginning to realise, potentially informative. A Maltese research project is testing whether extracellular vesicles can provide a less invasive source of cancer information.
